A band-aid because we care.
Yesterday was kinda crappy for me, with running errands and then going to the skin doctor and all. I think I mentioned before that I had to get a small mole removed so I could get a biopsy on it. I've had a couple others removed before, they usually come back negative. Dad and Ben had a mole removed too. Mom was the only one who didn't have anything removed, and she was the one who scheduled the stupid appointments. She sucks. Anyway, the mole I had to get removed was on my neck. So having it removed was not the most comfortable thing in the world. I mean, it wasn't *terrible* but I can think of many activities I'd rather pursue than having needles injected into my neck. Let me get to the point.
So I had the mole removed and of course there is a dime sized wound there now. So I have to put ointment on it and keep a band-aid on it and stuff. And yesterday I went straight to work from the doctor, so I had just gotten this done and the band-aid was just put on. I got to work and everyone could tell I wasn't happy because usually I'm much more cheerful, but yesterday I was kinda gloomy and stuff. I explained about the band-aid and I was pretty embarrassed about wearing a band-aid on my neck, because it's not like it was hidden or anything. It's right out there and it looks kinda dumb in my opinion. And when Nicole and Gary saw I was embarrassed, they got band-aids and put them on their necks too.
So for 4 hours, all three of us had band-aids on our necks. And it was funny because the customers would ask why we all have band-aids on our necks, and Gary was telling people that Dairy Barn sends us in for electric shocks once a month. But seriously, I thought it was one of the sweetest things anyone has ever done for me. Nicole took her band-aid off when she went to the deli, but Gary left his on the whole time I was there. I actually teared up a little when they did it. It was such a little thing, but it really meant a lot to me. And it's things like that, that make me think people are really okay. =]
